Suspension will only make your bike faster if you are a track racer....in the dunes the stock banshee suspension is just fine. I would focus on the motor. you already said you have pipes, what kind of intake setup are you using? The stock airbox on the banshee is extremely restrictive. If you have the stock air box U could start by making a bunch of smal holes all around it to let more air in or you can buy the UNI kit for the airbox wich comes with little filter inserts to put in all the holes you make, or you could do away with the airbox completely and run a single or dual K&N setup. the K&N setup will only run you around 60 to 70 bucks. Also I would replace the stock reed valves with V-force or Boysen valves. If you replace your reeds you will have to re-jet your carbs. Reed kits usually run about 200 bucks and that includes a new reed spacer. If you are familliar with machine/lathing work you could also remove your flywheel and lighten it. Not sure the actual weight you would want to take off but this will let your bike rev up alot quicker. Also you can advance the timing by filing the mount holes for the timing plate, mill your stock head for more compression and lets not forget port and polish your intake, exhaust and transfer ports. But I wouldnt do any machine work till you had specs. Anyways, you do all that and you could bump your stock banshee motor up to about 70hp....which is a freakin rocketship...
